If I select columns or lines in vim, then the statusline at the bottom of the

That's the problem. It's not doing it for me on vim on the cygwin xterm, nor on
a connection to an ubuntu server through cygwin mintty. I have gvim for
windows, and that works perfectly. But, when I use the cygwin terminal, and an
ssh'ed connection to ubuntu, the mouse does not work. I will try to see what
are my .vimrc settings for Windows, cygwin and ubuntu and try to match it. I
may need to join the vim email support. Thanks.
If you're running Cygwin/X (installed xinit) you should install Cygwin gvim(/X)
for local use and run gvim clients from remote systems on your X server e.g.
$ ssh -f -Y ubuntu-remote gvim ...
I moved everything under VIM=$HOME/.vim with VIMRUNTIME=/usr/share/vim/vim82 and
cygpath -w equivalent under Windows in the user environment with
VIMRUNTIME='C:\Program Files\Vim\vim90', also hardlinks from $HOME to $VIM
files, as I used Windows gvim under Cygwin before installing Cygwin/X and gvim,
with EDITOR=vim and VISUAL='gvim -f', and still use Windows gvim on the desktop.
